Dads are precious to us and Christmas is the time of year when we can show them how much, but finding the perfect Christmas gifts can sometimes seem almost impossible. In this article we look at some gifts ideas, from the conventional to the unusual.
Dads are often the hardest to buy for at Christmas time. They never tell you what they want and are always happy to settle for a boring old tie or gift voucher.
With the season of good will almost upon us, the pressure to find that perfect gift for Dad is growing. If you are struggling to think of something different this year, here are some ideas that might help.
Over the years, you've probably given your father most of the usual gifts, jumpers, slippers, socks etc and now you're finding it more difficult to come up with original ideas.
If you are looking for something different, first you need to decide whether you want something practical or possibly something more quirky and frivolous.
Some practical ideas include;
1. Golf Club membership and /or Golf equipment if he is an enthusiast
2. Satellite Navigation System
3. Specialist Magazine subscription depending on his hobby
4. Football tickets for his favourite club or cable subscription including popular sports channels
5. Supercar Thrill Experience - treat him to the drive of his life.
On the more frivolous and quirky side, how about?
1. Fifty Sheds of Grey - an amusing spoof story of a man, his shed and his adventures!
"She knelt before me on the shed floor and tugged gently at first, then harder until finally it came. I moaned with pleasure. Now for the other boot."
2. Save Water Drink Beer Apron - Ideal for the barbeque.
3. Excellent Insult a Day - 365 hilarious insults, put-downs, disparaging remarks and general offensively rude (but perfectly harmless) asides! It also doubles as a memo pad.
4. Toilet Golf - For the truly dedicated golfer... The ideal way to practice putting during bathroom breaks,
5. 365 Impressive Words Pad - If the insult a day isn't his thing, then he can impress friends and family with his impressive vocabulary!
Another alternative could be something is slate. Because it's a natural product, all slate items differ from each other in texture and colouring. The choice of slate gifts is quite extensive, ranging from the practical to the decorative and can be for indoor or outdoor use.
Some examples are;
1. Message Boards - Can be personalised with an inscription of your choice
2. Garden Signs - Dad's Garden, Harry's Veg Plot, Dad's Shed, can be any message of your choice.
3. Photo Frames - with a photo of you or your family in it
4. House Signs - Welcome signs, house and number plaques
5. Door Plaques - personalised with any name or slogan of your choice.
These are just a few of the possibilities.
